These Korean Vegetable Pancakes make a great side dish for my grilled Korean short ribs. These also make a great appetizer and even a satisfying lunch. They are kind of addictive so get ready to make them often. If I’m only making dinner for two, I’ll leave half of this mixture in the refrigerator overnight to use the next day. It holds up well and still tastes great.

I also can keep these in a warm 200 degree oven if I’m working on other dishes. They can sit there for up to ½ hour with no problem. Then, I’m able to serve these warm. BUT room temperature is absolutely fine.

One last note, I really cut back on the amount of oil I used to fry these up. Most times, you’ll see one tablespoon of oil being used per pancake. I prefer to spray my pan liberally, then just use a teaspoon to cut back on the fat and oiliness of the dish. If you need more oil, feel free to add it. Enjoy.

This is a simple dish to make. Start by making your dipping sauce. Mix all the ingredient together in a small bowl or measuring cup. You’ll serve this on the side as a dipping sauce with the pancakes.

Next, cut up all your veggies and add to a large bowl. (Scallions, carrots, chili and garlic.)

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, flour and salt and mix until smooth. Then add your water and mix thoroughly. This is your pancake batter. Pour over the vegetables in the other bowl and stir to combine. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes to thicken and combine.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over moderate high heat until hot. Add one teaspoon of the oil and let it get very hot but not smoking. Pour in about one cup of the mixture. Gently press down with a spatula to get it even and flat. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about two minutes).

Flip it and let cook two more minutes until golden brown. Put the pancake on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Cut into six wedges and serve with the dipping sauce.

These can be eaten at room temperature or warm. To keep them warm while you cook the other pancakes, place them in a 200 degree F. oven until ready to serve.
